Cambodian Prime Minister for strengthening bilateral trade ties with IndiaDecember 8th, 2007 - 10:57 pm ICT by admin
New Delhi, Dec 8 (ANI): Visiting Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen today stressed on enhancing bilateral trade with India and invited businessmen to Cambodia to deliberate on business feasibility.
Addressing a 'Business Meet', Sen observed that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has boosted and bolstered the economies of many nations in the past.
"Recognising the huge forces of the Indian economy, the successful development experience learnt from the other countries in the region where Foreign Direct Investment is playing an important and crucial role, Cambodia is strongly determined to attract as much as possible Foreign Direct Investment including Indian FDI to Cambodia," said Sen.
In order to enhance trade relations, Sen stressed on mobilising foreign funds for the economic development of Cambodia and also invited Indian business entrepreneurs to discuss and deliberate on feasible and workable business ventures.
"My message to all Indian businessmen is to come to Cambodia to carry out feasibility study," said Sen.
Later, India and Cambodia signed various agreements in the fields, ranging from defence cooperation and water resources to commerce, in the presence of Sen and Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh.
The Agreement on Transfer of Sentenced Persons, lays down the criteria and procedure for the transfer of sentenced persons who are incarcerated in the other country back to their own country to serve the remainder of their sentence.
The MoU on Cooperation in the Field of Water Resource Management covers collaboration and joint activities in the area of water resources development and management.
The MoU on Foreign Office Consultations signed today envisages regular consultations at the Vice Ministerial level to review all aspects of bilateral relations and exchange of views on international issues of mutual interest.
The consultations covering areas of political, economic, commercial, scientific, technical and cultural cooperation, will be held alternately in New Delhi and Phnom Penh.
The Work Plan under Memorandum of Understanding on Agricultural Cooperation for 2007-2008 was also signed today.
Under the Agreement on the Line of Credit for Cambodia, signed today India will extend a Line of Credit for 35.2 million dollars at a fixed rate of interest of 1.75 percent repayable over 20 years inclusive of a grace period of five years.
The Line of Credit will be utilised for financing three projects — 15 million dollars for the Stung Tasal Development project, 5.2 million dollars for the purchase of water pumps; and 15 million dollars for the construction of an electric transmission line between Kratie and Stung Treng Province.
An MoU on Cooperation and Technical Assistance was also signed between the Cambodian National Petroleum Authority (CNPA) and the ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL).

1. There is no strength meter for the Seeker boss, but your profiler will give you that information when you pass your reticle over him. This shot shows him at nearly full strength, 1785/1800. Note the infinite energy patch routine in the background.
2. A health patch routine, seen here in the background-right, is available across the grid. Keep moving, fire rapidly, and use the boxes for cover.
3. These programs join in the fight against you. They have names from the darker side of cyberspace: cookie_query, ad_banner, slow_search, and this fella with a curious name.
4. Race from one side of the grid to the other, refueling at the patch routines on each end. Periodically your system resources will become unavailable and you will slow down. Retreat behind cover when this happens.
5. Focus attention on the Seeker's health and rapidly wear him down with your Ball Launcher. When he eventually succumbs, you are awarded 10 build points, and you end the level at v4.8.6.

A group in North Carolina is aiming to launch the state's first de novo bank since the financial crisis.
A dozen business leaders in Union County said in a press release Wednesday that they are "evaluating the possibility" of opening a bank in Monroe, N.C. The proposal would be subject to minimum capital requirements and regulatory approvals.
The group, led by local businessman David Cuthbertson, has hired Randy Helton, a former CEO of American Community Bancshares in Monroe, which was bought by Yadkin Financial for $100 million in 2009. American Community, which was founded in 1998, had 13 branches and $525 million in assets at the time of its sale.
Since his bank's sale, Helton has run a consulting business that helps banks entering the Charlotte, N.C., area, according to his LinkedIn page.
"We are excited about hopefully bringing a community bank back to Main Street America," Helton said.
"Union County has a rich tradition dating back to the Depression of having a locally owned bank serving its citizens," he added. "The last locally owned bank was sold in 2009 — I was the CEO — and the market is now occupied by $10 billion-plus banks. I'm not sure their focus is on the small businesses and entrepreneurs that make up so much of the county. We hope we can fill that void."
The group, which did not disclose a name for the planned bank, said it had hired Todd Eveson, an lawyer at Wyrick Robbins Yates & Ponton, to help with the de novo effort. Tony Gaeta, a retired lawyer who has helped about 30 banks form over his career, is also involved.
The bank would be the first de novo in North Carolina since Coastal Bank & Trust opened in 2009, said Peter Gwaltney, president and CEO of the North Carolina Bankers Association.

text: This report about the Ethics of America's Youth pretty much points out the problems that I have with the youth of today. Newsflash: statistics report that the ethics of the youth of America is getting worse, or rather, that few are operating by any real ethical code. Although most youth respond that "It is important to be a person of good character", fewer and fewer of them are actually not cheating, stealing, and lying in general. So I am not sure what "good character" means to them.

We forever talk about the value of the enterprise view - of fraud, risk, or customers - and the necessary outlays for enabling technology. But what about federal regulators; is Uncle Sam due for some expensive silo busting as well?
If outspoken bank analyst Meredith Whitney is right, banks aren't alone in their need for innovation that helps navigate the new financial services landscape while evolving beyond legacy culture.
In a recent panel discussion at the Milken Institute, Whitney took aim at bank regulators, questioning their ability to adequately govern the industry in a new fashion, given their "super-siloed" nature and "pencil ledger" accounting systems. "One division knows what they're doing, and they're speaking Mandarin; and another division knows what they're doing and they're all speaking Cantonese," Whitney said, later adding "If you're leading regulatory reform you have to have the technology as well, and [regulators] have not embraced technology."
Political consensus has embraced the idea that the entire financial services industry - not just banks - ought to be regulated by a "super-regulator" tasked with monitoring for systemic risks. Where this thankless job will land; who will effectively become the Chief Risk Officer for the entire system, is still unwritten. But the technology investment required by banks and regulators to make this happen will be massive.
It's not as if Federal regulators don't spend money on risk management and other sophisticated applications. But a systemic risk regulator will need access to transaction-level data, something hedge funds and other asset managers are loathe to give up. Summary forms, as in call reports or 10Ks, aren't enough. "There is a big information component that will be critical for the success of the systemic regulator," says Richard Spillenkothen, director at Deloitte & Touche and the Federal Reserve's lead banking regulator for 15 years.
All of this data will require real-time analysis, creating demand for complex event processing and technology that reduces latency. For sophisticated financials, feeding this data to the government won't be a major challenge, at least from a technology perspective. For smaller institutions, impending regulatory demands will provide a mandated motivation to invest in the kind of enterprise risk management and compliance systems they've refrained from buying.
Systemic risk monitoring is functional elsewhere. In Germany and Israel, for instance, regulators have real-time information about banks holdings. "From that standpoint, the U.S. is a little outdated," says Andrew Liegel, senior product manager at FRSGlobal.
But implementing a new regulatory structure on the U.S. financial system is a bit like turning a supertanker; it's going to take years. But as CIOs, CEOs and boards spend time contemplating business strategy and associated technology investments on the other side of the recession, expect Congress to ensure that investing in technology to enable compliance will rise to the top of the list.

Do you use PayPal, Amazon or Facebook? Do you have a LinkedIn account or manage your banking online? Do you share family photos using Dropbox or Instagram, or your pearls of wisdom via Twitter?
The average UK citizen has 26 online accounts and ten different passwords. Research by YouGov found that 52% of us have not made provision for our digital accounts to be accessed in the event that we die or are incapacitated, and this can lead to problems when life takes an unexpected turn.
Here, at Spratt Endicott, we are receiving an increasing number of enquiries about managing digital assets, and it is an area of law which is developing apace.
In the UK there is no legislation defining digital assets or governing how they should be accessed and dealt with in these circumstances, which means there is some uncertainty in this area. It is however accepted that digital assets comprise information about you in a digital form (whether related to your personal or business activities) and include social media accounts, online banking and other shopping accounts such as PayPal, betting accounts and store directories, smartphone and app data, domain names and other intellectual property, online music accounts and ebooks, and online currencies such as bitcoins.
When somebody dies their personal representatives are responsible for administering their estate, but they may not know what digital assets there are, or how to access them, which can lead to accounts lying dormant and funds not being claimed. Digital assets which are not administered on death (such as funds in a betting account or virtual currency balances) will eventually form part of the unclaimed assets register. Given that our combined digital assets are worth in the region of £25 billion, if this happens then the deceased's beneficiaries could be out of pocket. If someone is incapacitated and a friend or relative does manage to access their account without proper authority, they may be in breach of the Computer Misuse Act 1990.
Although an online footprint can have financial value, often it is the loss of sentimental items such as photos and emails which can cause a family anguish. It is less common these days for people to write diaries or maintain photo albums – instead they publish blogs or keep photos in the Cloud, and without clear directions and permission to access the accounts, decisions about what happens to the content in these circumstances are made by the service provider. This can mean that personal data which could have provided comfort in the wake of a trauma is unavailable to the family of the deceased or incapacitated.
- So what can you do to help your family should the worst happen?
If you run a business, you should ensure that you have a comprehensive digital recovery plan in place.
- Check the terms and conditions of your accounts and nominate 'legacy users' where this option is provided, which will allow your nominated user to manage (and close if appropriate) your account.
- Include a digital assets clause in your Will and consider appointing a 'digital executor' to have specific responsibility for your 'virtual' life if you have a significant online presence.
- Keep an up to date list of your usernames and a separate one for your passwords and let your executors and/or attorneys know where to find them if it becomes necessary – or store the lists with your Will or Lasting Power of Attorney.
- Attorneys appointed under a Lasting or Enduring Power of Attorney should consider matters such as iCloud storage subscriptions and ensure services are maintained until they have retrieved hard copies of things they want to keep.
Most importantly, consider your individual circumstances and take professional advice if you are unsure about what to do to ensure your wishes regarding your digital footprint are observed. This is a complex and fast evolving area where tailored advice is recommended.
Spratt Endicott is recognised by The Legal 500 UK (A clients' guide to the capabilities of law firms) as the leading firm in North Oxfordshire in terms of its expertise and experience in the areas of powers of attorney, trusts, estate planning, wills and probate.

Vakantie Le Croisic
Vind de perfecte vakantie
An itinerary with 12 stages introduces visitors to over 4,000 specimens at the Océarium du Croisic. The tour takes in the nursery with the new borns and the tunnel featuring the stingray, grouper, houndshark and other wondrous sea creatures. Not to mention the multitude of colourful fish to view in the lagoon. This educational tour has been specially designed with children in mind, with a touch pool where the kids can actually touch the starfish.
The "Le Croisic, aux couleurs des peintres" (Le Croisic in painters' colours) route invites you to discover the city from a unique and original perspective. It lets you walk in the footsteps of past artists in Le Croisic in the 19th and 20th centuries: Eugène Boudin, Paul Signac, Maxime Maufra, Charles Jacque, Ferdinand du Puigaudeau, Henri Le Sidaner, Georges Lhermitte, Robert Micheau-Vernez, etc. Reproductions of their paintings have been set up along the route. You will find 25 panels.
With several different basins known as "chambres" the port du Croisic is a sheltered anchor point for sailing boats. From the harbour itself you can observe the isles or "jonchères" ; These heaps of stones were built up over the centuries by sailors who used these stones as ballast in the ships that came to Croisic to load up with salt harvested in the salt marshes of Guérande.
The quays extend for two kilometres in the heart of the city, meaning that a walk along the harbour front in the old port is always pleasant, the port remaining interesting and lively in all seasons.
Built in the 16thth century and renovated in 1992, the Moulin de la falaise in Batz-sur-Mer is still in use today!
Take a guided visit of the place in the company of the miller: he will explain the tricks of the trade to you and how the mill works.
You can also buy flour there to make your buckwheat pancakes and discover the buckwheat flour based recipes.
In Batz-sur-Mer, come and take a step back in time and immerse yourself in the history of the Second World War and the Landings.
Le Grand Blockhaus is a former command post of the Atlantic Wall, which extends over no less than five levels. It became a museum in 1997.
A visit to this enormous building allows you to realise how life within this advanced post was organised.
For the children, games are linked to learning via a treasure hunt. For the older ones, this impressive site is a mine of information on Poche de Saint-Nazaire.

"What is man without the beasts? For if all the beasts were gone, man would die of a great loneliness of the spirit."
~ Chief Seattle (1786 – 1866), Chief of Suquamish and Duwamish Tribes
Everyone loves animal photos, but few people have the time and resources to shoot wildlife in their natural habitat. I recently made a trip to my local zoo, where I used a technique called "shooting through" to photograph the magnificent leopard you see above.
In a zoo, sometimes it is possible to view and photograph animals with no barriers between you and them. In other cases, you must deal with a metal fence or other obstructions. In the case of this leopard, there was metal grid fence between my camera and this beautiful animal. Using the "shooting through" method I aimed my lens at him right through the fence, ignoring the fence completely, as if it were not there. I did not attempt to shoot through one of the spaces between the fence wires. I simply focused on the leopard, which I was able to do with autofocus, but if it had been necessary, I could have used manual focus. With the focus on the leopard, the wires simply disappear. They are closer to the camera, not on the same focal plane as the leopard, so the camera does not focus on them. Since the fence wires were relatively thin and dark, you do not see them in the image with normal viewing. If you magnify the image to 200% or so, you can see some faint rippling of the image where the wires would be, but they are not detectable in normal viewing.
In some situations, you may shoot through something which ends up blurry, but still visible in your image. This is not necessarily a bad thing, and in fact may be a deliberate artistic choice. An example would be shooting in a field of flowers. You may choose to shoot through foreground flowers, focusing on more distant flowers beyond them. The foreground flowers will be indistinct patches of color, which could be quite effective in making viewers feel like they are right there among the flowers, enhancing the viewer experience.
The shooting through method works best if 1) there's a fair amount of distance separating the foreground object you're shooting through and your main subject, or 2) you use a shallow depth of field (large aperture) if the foreground object and your main subject are closer together. The idea is to either have actual separation (by physical placement) or to create separation (by using the large aperture) so the camera can focus on the main subject and not on the foreground object you're shooting through. For the leopard photo above, I used a 100 mm lens at f/4.5. The lens was very close to the fence, and the leopard was about 8 feet beyond the fence. In this case there was actual physical separation, so I probably could have used a smaller aperture, but the light was a bit low, so I used the larger aperture, along with ISO 400, in order to get more light, while still keeping a fairly fast shutter speed. The larger aperture was sufficient to get the leopard's face, upper body, and front paws in focus, while blurring the surrounding rocks and his back legs. (Since the intention was a portrait, I don't mind his back legs being slightly blurred, though some may disagree.)
All in all, I accomplished the goal of shooting a nice animal portrait without an expensive trip, while using the shooting through method to eliminate the fence barrier. I hope you've found this tip helpful. I would love to hear your thoughts, so please feel free to leave a comment below. As always, I wish you happy shooting, and a satisfying photographic journey!

I can't say I am not guilty of this. In fact, I have compared myself, my life, the way I live, etc. to so many people in the past. There were times I thought I was better than some and there were times I thought I am no better than anyone. I just couldn't stop comparing!
While driving to a birthday party last weekend, Mike and I were talking about the amount of suicide news we've heard and how sad we are about it. It is so sad to know that behind the smile of someone, is a hurting person inside.
As many of you know, I was born and raised in the Philippines. It is a very hot and humid country. We only have 2 seasons there, summer and rainy season a.k.a typhoons and flooding season. Growing up I didn't really care about skin care. I barely used anything on my face. I wasn't even using sunscreen.
Hiking is just one of our favorite activity as a family. I think many of you can relate to this. It's a very good exercise and it's just great to unplug for a couple of hours to just be in the moment and have fun with the people you love the most.
I have always loved the idea of going to Paris since high school. I don't even remember the countless times I saw the Eiffel Tower on T.V, movies, photos uploaded by millions of people who had been there, not to mention the "lovers".
I heard of JoKoy before but I haven't really watched him perform. My cousin from Upstate NY texted me and she told me about him. So I looked him up and watched one episode on Nextflix. Needless to say, my cousin got me to say yes to seeing him in his Boston show. So she went ahead and bought the tickets and drove 6 hrs from her place to mine.
Wanted travel buddy/buddies!!! I used to travel for work and I loved it. I love meeting people, trying local food, learning about history and culture. I mean who doesn't? But that job of mine only lasted a year because I met someone and that someone is my husband. Anyways, that's a different story.
We've made it a tradition to have our "putting up the Christmas tree" photos done in our most comfy matching pj's. Last year, we wore plaid pj's from Gap/Gap kids. In 2012, when Mike and I were just dating, he wanted to get me onesies so bad for Christmas but I wasn't comfortable about the idea because I feel awkward about it.
Hello! Hello my lovies!!! It's officially December and here I am at 2:03 in the morning of 12/01/2017, wondering where did 2016 go?!!! Time flies so fast, I can't even keep up mother earth!!!
It's fall and that means it's sweater weather. That also means it's boots weather and the over the knee boots a.k.a OTK boots are a very popular style.

Do you notice how much makeup trends change? To me, it seems like one day I see or hear a trend, next day it is out or gone. I guess that is why I am not a cookie cutter trend, what's out or what is end kind of person. I tend to go with what I like, what makes me feel good and I go with it.
One thing has me flabbergasted is eyebrows. I have always had decent eyebrows, but I have always thought they were too much. So instead of embracing them, I spent hours at the beauty salon making sure they were waxed. At least once a month. Now I see that eyebrows are not being waxed, but defined! Since I seen that I bought me some eye brow definer, I fill those babies in (not that they need much) and I show off what is mine. (haha)
One thing I have never had – but always wanted was thick eyelashes. I have learned that each year, as I get a little bit better with age, my lashes become less thick. Is there a reason why I can't have lashes like the teens on Pretty Little Liars?
I have tried so many mascaras and I think I have told you a few times about my favorite brand and kind (lash intense by covergirl). There is still other things we can do. I am not talking about fake ones, even though I do own a couple pairs of those. Just haven't tried them on so far.
Have you heard of something called eyelash serum?
I have been using it for the last month and I have been really happy with it. The one I have been using is from a company called, Asana Beauty.
While a month later I still don't have the pretty lil liar lashes, I do feel that my lashes are thickening up some. My only regret was not keeping a photo journal.
This comes in a tube about like a liquid eyeliner, with a tiny brush. You just apply it along the eyelash line on your eye. You can use it with or without makeup. I keep mine in the restroom I am closest too so I can randomly just throw it on throughout the day.

To complete our SENSATIONAL topic, we visited Pizza Express. We learnt all about the ingredients used, how to make a pizza and what dangers are in the kitchen.
We got to sample garlic dough balls that a few of us helped to make. We then each got to make our own pizza. We kept ourselves and the food safe and clean by wearing an apron and chef's hat.
We made a crust by crimping the edge of the dough when it was in the tin. Then covered it with delicious tomato sauce with a big sprinkling of Mozzarella cheese. The chef cooked them for us in their really hot oven! Whilst we waited we had some activities to do.
We were then given our own pizza in our own pizza box. We all tried a piece at the restaurant but took the rest for lunch and to take home!
Thank you Pizza Express, we had lots of fun and learnt lots![Not a valid template]

Tuesday on MSNBC "Hardball With Chris Matthews," former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is "an extraordinarily intelligent guy" who is a "little bit of Bill Clinton, a little bit of Ronald Reagan."
Rudy Giuliani said, "Well, I think what happened is this tremendous disaffection with government, this feeling that government can accomplish nothing. They see the president as a weak president who can't get anything done. They see the Congress, even though it's Republican, as not having fulfilled the promises that were made to them when they elected Republican majority in the House and in the Senate. So, what you've got are a bunch of disaffected people, and Donald Trump has figured out a way to appeal to them. Even though he says some things that I don't agree with, that sometimes get people a little offended, but they find in him someone who they believe is talking to them in a straight way. And number two is Ben Carson. He's not far behind. He's a point or two points behind. Similarly, he is talking about something very different than the old Republican Party talked about. So there is definitely a sea change change going on."
He continued, "What he's got is first of all, a very, very, very strong intellect. Do not underestimate him. Don't make the same mistake that people made about Ronald Reagan, that they always underestimated him. This is a man who graduated from the Wharton School of Business … this is an extraordinarily intelligent guy, who can adapt, who can move with what's going on, who gets a sense of what the people are thinking. That's a very dangerous candidate, meaning, that's a candidate who can find a way, somehow to win. A little bit of Bill Clinton, a little bit of Ronald Reagan. I don't say he's going to be the candidate, but I don't count it out. He could be, he could be the candidate. and he could have figured out where, at least the Republicans are right now, and I think he'll probably work on where the independents are."

The group will follow the lead of its parent organization, American Atheists, in terms of how to move forward.
The Levy County Commission may have denied a request to place an atheist monument beside one for the Ten Commandments on the lawn beside the county courthouse, but the matter is far from settled.
Williston Atheists, the local organization that made the request, isn't discouraged by the denial, organizer Ray Sparrow said. The group will follow the lead of its parent organization, American Atheists, in terms of how to move forward.
The monument would dispel the illusion that only Christians can be represented beside the Levy County Courthouse, Sparrow said.
"We're trying to get something done in a community that is majority deeply religious, and it goes against the grain," he said.
The proposed monument, a 1,500-pound granite bench inscribed with biblical quotes describing the punishments for breaking the commandments as well as quotations from Thomas Jefferson and others, would be identical to the one American Atheists placed in front of the Bradford County Courthouse last year.
Both the Levy and Bradford county courthouses have areas designated as forums for expression in which tablet-shaped monuments engraved with the Ten Commandments have been set.
In Starke last year and in Bronson this year, people have debated whether an atheist monument should be permitted alongside the Ten Commandments within that forum. For now at least, the Levy County Commission's answer is no.
The County Commission denied Williston Atheists' request on Feb. 4 because it determined, after reviewing a county staff report and hearing from those present, that the application and proposed monument didn't comply with some guidelines.
County coordinator Fred Moody said the biggest thing that denial was based on was the fact that staff couldn't find documentation verifying that Williston Atheists is a legally recognized entity.
It isn't registered under a fictitious name or as a partnership or professional association, for example, according to the county staff report. Without that legal status, the organization lacks the authority or ability to either make the agreements or to obtain the insurance or bond needed in order to establish and maintain the monument.
Had Sparrow, who submitted the application on behalf of the group, applied as an individual, he could have made those assurances, Moody said.
"When I saw that, I thought, well that's just like some legalese, you know, that could be brought up and used as a reason to deny the application," Sparrow countered.
The staff report also stated that the quotations that would be inscribed on the monument did not include the entire text of the document as required.
The monument was going to include quotations from letters by Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. Even though they were written by two of America's Founding Fathers, the report explained that the application didn't describe the significant role those specific writings played in the origins, development or foundation of either national or state law or of Levy County, as required.
The proposed monument also included a quotation from John Adams' "A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America." The famous 1787 publication "clearly played a significant role," the report stated, but the monument wouldn't include the entire text and thus doesn't appear to meet the guidelines in that respect.
Sparrow said the assertions about needing the full text was a "ploy" giving the county a reason to deny the request.
"Well, they didn't put the whole Bible up there when they posted the Ten Commandments," he said.
Moody mentioned he has heard that argument from people but said there are legal opinions showing that the Ten Commandments are considered a complete text and aren't always even considered religious in certain cases.
The County Commission is expected to adopt a formal opinion on Williston Atheists' application this week, but the organization is welcome to either appeal the decision or re-submit their application, Moody said.
Williston Atheists doesn't plan to let this matter drop, Sparrow said. The new organization of a dozen or so members started hosting meetings a few months ago, but they're difficult to advertise for since some people are afraid they could be retaliated against and become pariahs if they make their atheism known.
It's a foregone conclusion that everybody believes in God here, he said, although that isn't true.
But 66-year-old Bronson resident Pat Trageser doesn't have a problem with people putting an atheist bench next to the Ten Commandments monument. She said it's their choice to be godless.
"I'll sit on their bench and pray for them," she said.
Sam Norris, 73, who also lives in Bronson, said he doesn't think either monument should be there. The atheist monument would be blasphemous, but the Ten Commandments monument is profane, he said, because it has become a war banner that is polarizing people.
"The use of it's being perverted," he said.
If Williston Atheists returns to the county and its proposal is denied again, the organization would have a fighting chance if it challenged that decision in court, said professor Clay Calvert, director of the Marion B. Brechner First Amendment Project at the University of Florida. But this is an unsettled area of law, so there wouldn't necessarily be an easy answer.
"Lurking in the background, there are clear First Amendment issues involving both freedom of religion and freedom of speech here," he said.
The court would try to determine if the Levy County government's technical grounds for denying Williston Atheists' request was a smokescreen used to deny a viewpoint to which it objected.
The County Commission approved the application for the Ten Commandments monument in 2009 at the behest of the Tri-County Pregnancy Center of Florida in Williston, which identifies itself as a Christian ministry on its website. Something that has been around for a long time, like "In God We Trust" on a coin, may not be deemed a government endorsement of religion, Calvert said, whereas something incorporated more recently like this monument lacks that historical context.
"The question then is: Is the failure to follow procedural rules really a pretext or not for discriminating against the atheist viewpoint in this case?" he said.

Jan. 2010 House Race Update – District 33
January 28, 2010 by Gary Coats
Filed under SC Politics
With Littlejohn announcing his retirement a few weeks ago, we thought we would take a look into this race and see what is going on. Let us know what your thoughts on this race and let us know who your pre-filing preference is in our poll below!
Lanny Littlejohn
Contributions: $0.00
Expenditures: $1,736.66
Cash on hand: $9,088.25
Littlejohn announced his retirement from public service back in November. His latest contribution report affirms that has he has taken in zero dollars in contributions and he is calling it quits.
Weldon Davis
Contributions: $0.00
Expenditures: $39.00
Cash on hand: $756.39
UPDATE: Davis is announcing today he is running as a Republican in District 33, courtesy the Herald Journal. We have updated the poll.
Our poll will not include Weldon, as of of now, he is uncontested as a democrat. At least he was a democrat in 2008 when he ran against Littlejohn. Lastly, we have only heard rumors that Weldon is considering a run again. Looking at his filing reports, he hasn't begun raising any money.
Manning Lynch
Contributions: $0.00
Expenditures: $0.00
Cash on hand: $5,721.64
Lynch was thought to be a big contender in this race, but latest rumors we are hearing state that he is not going to run. Lynch did not raise any money in this last cycle. This would tend to lend these rumors to be true, but I think it is still to early to tell.
Eddie Tallon
Contributions: $29,233.98
Expenditures: $914.40
Cash on hand: $30,269.58
Tallon by far raised the most money and has the best stock pile of any of the candidates. Rumors on the street state he will probably take the primary without any real issues.
Tallon's contribution report appears to be a who's who of donors. There are also several donors whose name is "X X" with an "X X X" address. There are 18 of those records, but if memory serves me right, these are below the reporting threshold requirement for who the individuals are.
Corrected comments on Junie White, my apologies Mayor White.

Littlejohn, Tenenbaum, Swine Flu, and Elbows
May 5, 2009 by Gary Coats
Filed under SC Politics
So, it's been about a week since I posted here at The Conservativist and for good reason, I guess.
For those of you who don't know, I love sports and when I play, I play hard. The latest chapter in the saga ends with a awesome looking dive that ends with a nasty flip and a severely messed up elbow. So here's a quick overview concerning a few topics over the last week.
Senator Arlen Spector – Some say this is not a big loss, others say it is huge. The fact Spector admitted the fact that he didn't want to lose his seat to angry Republican primary voters and that was the primary reason he changed parties is this biggest problem with politics in America today. Some people get so used to the power that they cannot let it go. Kind of like me forgetting that I'm not 19 anymore and the body doesn't take a beating like it used to.
Spartanburg County Delegation – The fued is over in Spartanburg over who is chairman and vice-chairman. Monday, May 4th, the delegation reached a compromise naming Lanny Littlejohn the chairman and Shane Martin the vice-chairman. Part of the deal that was arranged is to have the leadership positions rotate between members of the House and Senate in future terms. Still at question is weighted voting.
Air Force One & the Statue of Liberty – Just when you thought it was safe to take to the streets of Manhattan after 9/11, Obama's staff decides to send one of his aircraft to perform a flyby at the Statue of Liberty. Some individuals had been notified of the events, excluding Mayor Bloomberg, and panic was amuck in NYC as this low flying aircraft buzzed Manhattan. To add to the egginess, an F-16 was in hot pursuit…to take photographs. This taxpayer funded fly by was to replace the photo of the aircraft over Mt. Rushmore. I guess Washington is becoming Wall Street's best friend.
Swine Flu – A panic is created over the rapid spread and 150 deaths linked to a swine flu out of Mexico. CNN reports that 250,000 – 500,000 people die a year from the regular flu. Your guess, manufactured panic or a real threat?
Tenenbaum Appointed by Obama – South Cakalaki's most recent past Superintendent of Education and one time rumored candidate for Governor was tapped by Obama to head up the Consumer Product Safety Commission. This is somewhat concerning to us. I read some stats somewhere today (if you know where the link is, please forward) that stated she was in charge of the State Education Department thru the years we dropped from 46th to 50th in the nation. So if she tanked our education department, what is she going to do to our consumer products?
Well, it's time to go ice the elbow again and do real work. Let us know what you think.
Roll Call Voting Needs Your Help!
April 22, 2009 by Gary Coats
Filed under SC Politics
The leader in the roll call voting battle, Nikki Haley, needs your help. Her bill, H. 3047 (Spending Accountability Act of 2009) made it out of subcommittee today and was supposed to be read to the full Ways and Means Committee, but continues to be delayed.
The rumors mills are afloat that this is a tactic to keep the bill from coming to a vote. Some say the House is scared of the transparency and there is even a rumor that an amendment has been proposed that Haley is being blocked from seeing.
So what's the big deal with another transparency bill?
The resolution passed in January was a simple rules change that got roll call voting on the books for the session ending in 2010. In 2011, new rules could be introduced and roll call voting could disappear.
H. 3047 actually makes roll call voting the law.
Read the Spending Accountability Act of 2009 (H. 3047) and contact the Ways and Means Committee and demand a yes vote for roll call voting!
By the way, do you realize that 14 of 25 ways and means members signed the No New Tax Pledge and 12 of them have already violated their no new tax pledge! Thanks to roll call voting, we know who they are. Coincidence?
SC Ready to Sound the Alarm on H.R. 45
March 9, 2009 by Gary Coats
Filed under SC Politics
So besides the hours the House spent debating and voting on our ever important state budget, what did the SC State House of Representatives accomplish before/after 108 members saw it necessary to accept the stimulus money instead of doing what the rest of America is doing, trimming down the fat.
H.3673 was introduced and referred to committee. The resolution expresses "the opposition of the General Assembly of South Carolina to the Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 [H.R. 45] recently introduced in the United States Congress." Whew.
For those of you who don't know, H.R. 45 (aka Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009) introduced by Congressman Bobby Rush (D -IL) would destroy our 2nd Amendment rights as we know it. What does it require? Here is a list just for starters.
- transferring a firearm to any person other than a licensee, unless the transfer is processed through a licensed dealer in accordance with national instant criminal background check system requirements, with exceptions;
- a licensed manufacturer or dealer from failing to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements of this Act;
- failing to report the loss or theft of the firearm to the Attorney General within 72 hours;
- failing to report to the Attorney General an address change within 60 days; or
- keeping a loaded firearm, or an unloaded firearm and ammunition for the firearm, knowingly or recklessly disregarding the risk that a child is capable of gaining access, if a child uses the firearm and causes death or serious bodily injury.
Did I mention this requires most ammunition to be bar coded?
We spoke with Congressman Bob Inglis (R – SC) a few weeks ago about the bill and he didn't give us a warm fuzzy feeling. Bob Inglis is against the bill, but believes that Nancy Pelosi (D – CA) will push this through. Our best hope is that pro gun democrats like college football star Heath Shuler (D – NC) and others will stand up and buck the gravy train.
H.3673 was referred to the committee on Invitations and Memorial Resolutions. Be sure to contact your representatives and ask them to sponsor this resolution. We need to send this message loud and clear to Washington. Here are the committee members:
Herb Kirsh Liston D. Barfield Don C. Bowen Marion B. Frye Vida O. Miller
As for Spartanburg County, all but two Representatives had signed on as of 12:14am on March 10th. Those Representatives are Harold Mitchell and Joey Millwood.
I am happy to see our General Assembly fighting for our rights guaranteed by the US Constitution. I just wish these bills did more than just memorialize the US Congress. It is our understanding this process has very little effect influencing Congress. Maybe they will put some teeth into one of these bills and give the Attorney General the grounds to sue the US over this matter.
By the way, go to the NRA website and help them get on Congress' case to not pass this bill.
UPDATE (5:04pm March 10):
Joey Millwood and Eric Bedingfield have also signed on to this legislation now.
SC State House Passes 10th Amendment Resolution
February 27, 2009 by Gary Coats
Filed under SC Politics
On February 26th, The SC State House passed H3509 which is a resolution to affirm the states rights guaranteed by the 9th and 10th amendments of the US Constitution.
Unfortunately, it appears the transparency bill doesn't cover such resolutions. We spoke with Dan Hamilton (House District 20) of Greenville, SC who shared with us that the vote was unanimous in favor of the bill.
Some of the Spartanburg County legislatures signed on to the bill. They are as follows:
- Allison
- Parker
- Millwood
- Littlejohn
Be sure you call and thank them for signing on to this bill. Those who failed to sign on as sponsors are below:
- Mitchell
- Cole
- Forrester
- Kelly
The bill has been referred to the Senate. A similar version already exists, S424 in the State Senate, which the Spartanburg County Senators have already signed on as sponsors.
